Hawk Moths

3 Fabulous Hawk Moths to my trap yesterday, and then one in the garden tonight as we were packing things away. Absolute beasts and all beautiful.

Privet Hawk Moth (in decline now, so nice to see a big female)

Elephant Hawk Moth. We should get caterpillars of these as we have a ton of Fuschias, which they love.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Kev, but nevertheless an interesting series of shots......
